From Iris Burn Hut to Control Gates/Finishing Line.
Once you reach Iris Burn Hut, you are half-way to making it to the finish. The only consolation you have in knowing this is that there are no more steep ascents and grinds to complete. The real challenge though now comes down to your endurance.
At this point, I had expected to average 10km/hr, fading at the last 10km mark (Rainbow Reach).
Hitting the wall was a new experience. On my part, it came down to having only trained to run 6hr30min. It took me 45 minutes to complete the last 7 kms, finishing 60kms in 7hr17min.
what, no sound?
ya need some music!
youtube has a dub selection you can use...
